Creator's Key Takeaways

if only i had a dime for every time someone on rotterdam made a disparaging comment about the bertanus

the footage for this top to bottom deck tour was from my final visit to brittanis when she was still operating as a miami-based cruise ship

the glitzy casino was the unfortunate product of a latter-day refit it was the ship's stately lounge in its matson and early chandras days

YouTube Video Description↓

Using footage shot on board on 24 February 1994 on a rainy day in Miami, I take the viewer from the Monkey Island down to the Cinema on Dorado Deck, covering all of the BRITANIS' public areas. Shots of the spaces when the ship was MONTEREY, MATSONIA and LURLINE are included for comparison. This Decked! video is similar to my Decked! blog series at now defunct MaritimeMatters, although it uses actual video footage versus still images. This will conclude my coverage of the BRITANIS for now, although more will be eventually featured during the ship's layup and slow decay in the late 1990s at Tampa.

It doesn't cost you anything but it will help me carry on with making more ship videos.
